Using a short field, the Mustangs put together a six-play, 43-yard scoring march late in the half.

Wilson had a big 15-yard quarterback keeper to the Cardinal 25 and three plays later he found Wiley on a 20-yard touchdown pass as Wiley broke through a Cardinal tackle to dart into the end zone to make it 21-0 with 1:44 in the half.

The Mustangs moved from their own 11 all the way to the Cardinal 2 on a grueling 17-play drive that ate up over eight minutes but were stopped when the Cardinals stuffed Wilson on fourth-and-goal from the 4 with 7:32 remaining in the game. Wilson completed five passes for 47 yards on the drive that came away empty-handed.

The Mustangs will have one more non-district tilt as they will head to Jasper next week to face the Bulldogs before opening District 10-4A Division II action at home Oct. 12 against Silsbee. Meanwhile, the Cardinals will have their bye next week before taking on Orange County rival Little Cypress-Mauriceville at home Oct. 12 to open up District 11-4A Division I play.
